A Web 2.0 Platform for Product-Service System Management

A product–service system (PSS) comprises products, services, networks of players, and a supporting infrastructure. When the PSS becomes operational within the product life cycle, interactions within the networks of players—manufacturer, technical services, functional services, and customer—become particularly significant. First, we present a two-level categorization of operational PSS services and a list of expected exchanges among the players. Second, in order to sustain ongoing exchanges of data, information, and knowledge, we propose a Web 2.0 platform as a supporting infrastructure for online collaboration and sharing through facilitating dynamic and multiple-perspective PSS management.
